JI: Can you tell us what new Transformers/Star Wars sculpts we might see for this year?

Hasbro: Four all-new sculpts are planned for later this Fall. We are going to be revealing all of them (and possibly more) at Comic Con, but we'll give you a little taste of our September wave: General Grievous/Grievous Starfighter, and TIE Pilot/TIE Bomber.

UGH! I'm really hating that I have to keep buying these things, but I feel compelled to because I'm a Transformers collector. Most of them look great in vehicle modes (kinda makes up for no Action Fleet) but they look like **** when transformed.

Not looking forward to when Hasbro gets around to GI Joe vehicles either

The newest Republic Gunship release has some slight modifications and repainting. The nose art shows a Salacious Crumb like character dropping a bomb, the windows in the canopy are painted, the wing turrets are painted solid, full solid doors are included, but the side ball turrets are not.

I picked up the V19 Torrent/Clone Pilot and AT-TE/Captain Rex SW Transformers at a local Target this afternoon. I had a chance this evening to "play" with them. The V19 can be posed in flight and landing modes when in ship form which I thought was cool. The Rex's legs come off easily (sounds like a common problem with AT-TEs ). The leg pieces snap on at the thigh, and when they're pulled during the transformation, they just don't hold.

Nice....I guess. I still have the last wave sitting in the back of my truck from a few months back. I don't really care for these things too much any longer especially with the higher price point - other than the fact that they look like Action Fleet vehicles - and I'm "upset" that they don't include mini figs or the spinny thingy.
